    I've read the sled website/documentation a while ago and can only recommend others to do the same.

    It's a non-trivial amount of interesting knowledge regarding database creation as well as performance.

      Somewhat puzzling post? I read it and appreciated it (but holy crap does it need a TL;DR... (basically, "benchmark carefully")) but had little idea what it has to do with `sled`, which turns out to be an embedded database written in Rust. Perhaps update the title? I was looking forward to some performance guidance for "sled" on "Rust (.rs)" and didn't really find any...

        It was kind of Hunter S Thomson-ish and also kind of inside-baseball like. It would be interesting to talk to the author. Are they like that in person?

        He's operating on another level in some ways, but does all that fancy-talk and verbal abstraction (We are fucked in 2020 he says) actually come down to anything a normal schlub can use? If you've worked in the db world on distributed databases, well, this is par for the course at MemSQL or Amazon or whatever.
